Sarah Blasko live and acoustic
Aussie songstrel Sarah Blasko popped in to BBC 6 Music on Monday to plug the UK release of her sublime As Day Follows Night album.
She chatted to Lauren Laverne about how she was influenced by Cyndi Lauper, and why, when every woman in pop has bought a synth, she has invested in a lute and gone back to musical basics. That’s her on the right, playing caveman music on a conch shell. Probably.
Anyway, Blasko played two songs from the new record – All I Want and We Won’t Run. As I mentioned in my review a few weeks back, she is stunning in concert, with a husky other-worldly quality to her voice. Although, as mrsdiscopop has pointed out, she has a tendency to chew her vowels like bubblegum.
Well, Sarah Blasko is far more worth to talked about than Jamie Junger. Actually the song “All I Want” is one of my favorites and whenever I heard it, I could not help but want Blasko for more. I wish I could see her perform live and I wonder when can she perform here at Oakland. More power to her career and let us support her till the end!
